I finger pick a lot and if you are doing a solo or duo thing without the bass fingerpicking gives you a chance to fill in the bass and melody of the song that using a pick doesn't and having played bass since I was a youth it made finger picking more natural.

Hi, I'm new here, but I basically play nothing but fingerstyle! I'm al Chet, Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel type stuff. I play some solo gigs, but am not really a proffessional in that I don't make a living playing guitar. You can hear a couple of my recordings on Sony's acid planet:

Smileywiley....nice finger style. Sounds pretty good. I hope I can be half that good someday. I am just now starting to explore finger sytle and I am by no means a finger style player. Sounded really good though.

Howdy Thumbs. I don't have enough posts to e-mail ya' but I'm in Crossville too and I'd like to find some people to get together and pick with. Shoot me an e-mail at dfharvey@citlink.net if you get the chance. Talk to ya' later.
